Summary:
With 16 inch wheels, total bike weight of 8.5 kg, gear inches of 26 to 80 gear inches, I will have an ideal compact foldable bicycle that I can use to ride to work, take on outstation tours, even take inside hotel rooms if I can carry it in a large enough bag. Which means I can even take it into tour buses or ferries or small boats to cross rivers. This can also mean that the small compact bike can be packed into a luggage bag for checking into the airplane for overseas travel.

Now to find this elusive bike is my mission.... 

I may have something in a month's time... keep a watch out... 

  my elusive bike?
What is a good foldable bike for me?    It's just my own opinion, so you are free to disagree.
And Why did I choose it?

yep all folding bikes have their pros and cons
buy something that will fit ur need
below is my opinion based on what i've tried

tern verge p20 = quality parts , fast (nice hill climb) & compact fold but ride is a bit upright due to tall handle-post ( wanted eclipse p18 there's space constrains - 3 bikes = 1 small myvi )

jetstream = best hentam saja bike (can go anywhere) suspension really nice .. less vibration on stony roads .. not that fast and only 1 colour

dash p18 = fast (nice hill climb) feels like full size road bike (best) but non compact fold

brompton M6L= nice cilok bike ( maneuver in small & tight places like cars in traffic ) small & compact fold but not fast (need strong legs to climb) .. very expensive can buy 2 of the above bikes for a price of brompton. Hate the pentaclip thingy on the seatpost

pink bike = er nevermind

É foldie owner will wish to b like u skidd
Own a few.. thts d way to go...

what kind of brompton u want? share abit.. Outdoorexplorer might be interested...

titanium wor.. confirm expensive la... hahaha.. the B can be lighter when you change some parts to titanium like screw, nuts and bolt. Change the seat, remove mudgard, titanium pedal.. lol..

but why u want light?

haha.. if lady, I understand la..

But again, how frequent you going to carry? Up and down the stairs? Carry up to 17th floor via staircase?

If jus carry from the floor up to car boot, i think no need a titanium la.. haha..

I see some B owners prefer to roll than carry..

I bet you will get a brompton

Got myself and wife XDS AFB 270 yesterday, with a nice front-load baby seat on my one. Easy to remove the seat for folding. Tried riding a bit, handlebar really quite twitchy compared to old bike. Can get used to though, I think. In any case, first foldie!

PM you. A bit shy =p

its a good foldie, for town use if can get one.  its not really for longer distances as the wheel base is too short, do check out this as it affects stability and will be less comfortable.

For a comparison, do check out the brompton's wheelbase length.

I am looking for 1 too..
planing to get from bangkok dahon dealer...
interested..

Get frm taobao less than rm200 shipping fees...
